A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alissa, and I’m a 19-year-old from San Carlos, CA. I just finished my freshman year at San Diego State University and will return in late August.

I have 5+ years of paid childcare experience with kids ages 2 months to 13 years. I started at 14 working at my dance studio’s summer camp and have since babysat and nannied, including a full-time nanny role last summer. I’m currently looking for new babysitting or nannying opportunities.

I also work as a USA Varsity dance staff member, traveling and teaching dance to high school students, which has strengthened my leadership and ability to create a fun, structured environment.

I have a valid license, my own reliable car, and I’m responsible, energetic, and love working with kids!

A little bit about me

I'm Ellie, and I'm 19 years old. I grew up in the Bay Area for 14 years, but the past four years, I've been at boarding school in Carmel, California. I’m graduating from high school in May and heading off to Gonzaga University, ready for the next big adventure.

I absolutely love spending time outdoors—especially at the beach—and going on adventures. I’m also passionate about animals and enjoy cooking and baking whenever I get the chance. Being with my friends is super important to me, and I love creating memories with them.

A little bit about me

Hi there!

My name is Camille, and I’m a Bay Area native. After earning my B.S. in Health Sciences from Sacramento State, I stepped away from the nanny world to explore the corporate side of things, but quickly realized how much I missed the genuine joy and connection from caring for children.

I have over 10 years of childcare experience, beginning with working in my church nursery at age 12 caring for infants, and eventually becoming a full-time nanny. I also have experience supporting children with special needs, specifically those with Autism and Fragile X Syndrome.

I'm excited to return to this work and reconnect with families in need of a caring, patient, and reliable nanny. Looking forward to the possibility of meeting you and your family!
